Paper Mileage

The last week of March, our class finished their "Unlucky Charm" stories.  I apologize.  I have not graded them yet.  Grading writing is fairly time consuming, and I admit not my favorite thing to do.  Even with this said though, I value getting pages returned in a timely fashion, therefore, I am sorry I have not got these papers graded. 
I arrive to work at 7:30 and leave try to leave by 4:30.  I usually stop in over the weekend once or twice a month.  I try to limit how much I work at home during the week.  My own children need my attention which they are sure to let me know.  Don't ask my husband either about time I spend working on or worrying about students!  I may just need to work on my time management! I'm not having a pity party for myself.  All jobs consume time.  What I am doing is taking the stack home with me to grade this weekend once more.  (You would be surprised if you knew how many times these papers have been back and forth to my home.  They have a lot of mileage!)  This time will be different though, because this time they really are going to be graded!
